Who are the People in my Neighborhood? 
Well, I guess these people aren't all in my neighborhood, but these
are the people that I meet when I am walking down the street (or web as
the case may be). These are my friends, e-pals, etc. in no apparent
order (sorry if I missed someone - I am still adding to this list!):
- Siobhan is a person
in my
neighborhood. She has homemade icons and I don't so I am bitter and
jealous. We have been friends since we met in grade 10!
Siobhan has many claims to fame, one of which is that she has/had a
rubber chicken which was autographed by the Jazz Butcher himself.
Siobhan is a millionairess. Well, not actually. But she could be if only
one of her relatives would get very very rich and then die and leave it
all to her! So that's pretty close, no?
- Hilary finally has
made a wonderful if at times somewhat perverse homepage. I love it and
I'm sure you will too. Be sure to check out the page that tells you WHO our Hilary really is
for those of you brave
enough to find out. She refers to my page as having 10 hidden
pornographic links. Did you find all 10?
- David Katz now has a homepage,
but it is a fascist home page and my favorite browser will not show it. I
suppose if you have some fancy shmancy Netscape 2.0 or above browser, you
can see his page. What can I say about Dave? I met him last summer while
we were both in a mad scramble to get prerequisites for computing science.
And then, just as quickly as he had appeared *POOF* he was gone. He went
to the University of Victoria and I think he should come back here right
this minute to suffer in the freezing cold along with the rest of us
chickens. Dave has been a ballerina, a soldier and now he is a
computing science student.
If he read this, he would probably say "I wasn't a 'ballerina', I was a
dancer." To which I would reply "Oh. Whatever." The point is, he is
well-rounded. Oh, yeah, he's into photography too. I think his set-up
is a tad more sophisticated in that department than mine. I meet
people that I think are worth being good friends
with on the order of once every five years. And Dave is one. Too bad he
left so soon. Jerk!
- Gary
Lémmon is one of my e-pals from the UK! I met him on a scrabble
server. We share a love of scrabble and I have him fooled into thinking I
am a really good player. I think he should win a friendliest on the web
award. He even has his computer trained to send back a receipt for any
e-mail that gets received when he is not at the computer so that you don't
think he might have received your message without promptly responding!
- Geoff was the first e-pal I ever had. He wrote to me when my page was
just a baby and pointed out that my e-mail address link was not
functional, a problem that I didn't know how to fix at that time. He says
he's currently making his own homepage and I believe him... so Geoff,
what's your URL???
- Ian Phillips is an e-pal of
mine from Windsor, Ontario - YAY a Canadian. He's a guitarist and back-up
vocalist in a band there. The wonderful thing about Ian is that I think
he actually groks what I mean half the time even though I haven't known
him that long. He even sent me a sandwich with
my name on it.
- Mike Roshko, a
friend of mine who I have seen maybe once in the last couple of years.
Actually, for a while, NO ONE knew where he was. Then he turned up at
Vince's party one day. And he TOLD me where he was, but now I don't
remember. Do you think he erased the info from my brain? Kinda makes you
think, doesn't it... maybe he has powers....
- Jeff House
is a guy that I met in the Math Lounge (see above). Jeff has an
interesting homepage which (when I last checked) contained Simpsons sound
clips as well as interesting backgrounds (including this one). Go visit
the world 'o' Jeff!
Recently, I got an e-mail message from an old friend of mine who I
always call Andrew but for the sake of clarity, I will fondly
refer to him here as
Drew.
He wrote (and I quote) "http://www.ualberta.ca/~mtucker/Drew.html."
(Should I put the period inside of the quotes or out? I always wonder.)
I found this message bizarre and wonderfully characteristic for Andrew. I
pondered it for a minute or two, wondering if it had some deep
significance. I think it must have. I met Andrew at Siobhan's place
(see above). We were all working on a magazine called Dead Tree
Product. It later became a University-affiliated publication. Andrew
has a way about him. I decided that Andrew's purpose in writing me e-mail
that contained his URL only was that he had probably read MY homepage
and that he probably KNEW that by sending me his URL, I would be
sure to link to him. It is nice that he had enough faith in my intellect
to trust that I could figure this out without the further hindrance of
things like *words*.
- Peng Mok I met Peng in high
school. Now we are both on the web! His homepage is very spiffy.
- And many more!!! I am sure I will eventually get around to telling
you ALL about ALL the people in my neighborhood, but for now, that's
it... Sorry if I left anyone out!
